In the first century, Austro-Caldera was migrated to by natives around Crona. They developed slightly different than elsewhere in Crona, as these natives built their society around fishing. Because of this, they developed a religion coined as "Volinism", based around the God of the Sea being the most supreme being.This culture survived for a long time, being the culture that Paul Aster encountered in his [[Aster's expedition|1387 expedition]]. | In the first century, Austro-Caldera was migrated to by natives around Crona.

Caldera is a treacherous island environment, dominated by hills and rocks. A Krein river also passes through all of Caldera, leading to several small lakes and streams. | |||
===Climate | ===Climate=== | ||
Caldera is an unusually warm island compared to the rest of Crona. This is thanks to winds from the ocean which blow cold currents east, leaving Caldera in a somewhat exposed state. Due to this, exotic tropical wildlife grows in Caldera, incredibly odd for the cold winters that usually define Cronan nations. | |||

As with most things Calderan, Calderan art is seperated into two parts: Volin, and German. Volin artists prior to 1600 often carved out of wood, creating sculptures or simple drawings of famous gods or events. When Eldmorans came to Caldera, they introduced music and paintings, sparking an era of Volin artistic expression, usually based around fishing or religion. German art in Caldera is characterized by thematic messages, usually based around "listen to your elders" or nationalistic messages. | As with most things Calderan, Calderan art is seperated into two parts: Volin, and German.

===Sports=== | ===Sports=== | ||
Austro-Caldera's most popular sport is kravget, a sport invented by the Volin people in the 10th century. In kravget, there are two teams. The two teams take turns throwing 4 small dics (traditionally slices of wood from a palm tree) at opponents on the other team. If one team manages to hit an opponent without the opponent capturing the disc, then the throwing team scores a point. If the throwing team throws a disc at an opponent and the opponent catches it, then the catching team scores a point. This continues until one team has scored 23 points. | Austro-Caldera's most popular sport is kravget, a sport invented by the Volin people in the 10th century. In kravget, there are two teams.
